Dow Jones Newswires, BRUSSELS - European Union foreign ministers called
on Iran Monday to show greater respect for human rights, saying the
situation in Iran was deteriorating and damaging E.U.-Iran ties. The
E.U. ministers said they regretted that Iran has failed to hold talks
on human rights this year, "despite the E.U.'s strong and repeated
requests."

NCRI - The former Democratic presidential candidate Senator John Kerry
denounced remarks by clerical regime’s President Ahmadinejad
questioning the Holocaust and suggesting that Israel should be
relocated to Austria or Germany.

"For the leader of any country to question whether the Holocaust
happened and suggest Israel be moved to Europe is beyond unacceptable,"
Kerry said in a statement on Thursday.

NCRI - The White House said Thursday that Ahmadinejad's suggestion that
Israel be moved to Europe underlined Washington's concerns about the
regime in Iran.

"It just further underscores our concerns about the regime in Iran. And
it's all the more reason why it's so important that the regime not have
the ability to develop nuclear weapons," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan.

NCRI - The German Foreign Ministry said on Friday it had summoned
mullahs’ ambassador to protest against suggestions by Ahmadinejad that
the Holocaust might not have happened and that Israel should be moved
to Europe.

Ministry spokesman Martin Jaeger said at a government news conference
the decision to deliver a formal protest to mullahs’ envoy in Berlin
was meant to show that Berlin was taking the Ahmadinejad’s comments
very seriously.

Associated Press, November 6 - Italy said Sunday that Iran was
isolating itself with its call for the destruction of Israel — the
latest retort reflecting increasing diplomatic tensions between the two
countries.

"No one wants to isolate Iran," Italy's Foreign Ministry said. "On the
contrary we all hope that Tehran, adopting responsible conduct, wants
to play a role of stabilization in its region, but it is Iran which
inevitably isolates itself the moment it denies the right to exist to
another state and other people."

NEW YORK, August 26 - The ’New York Committee against Ahmadinejad (NYCA)’ announces its formation. Its mission is to campaign against the trip by Iran’s new President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to New York City, scheduled for mid-September. He is planning to address the upcoming United Nations General Assembly session.
